Mapping with PLOs

CLO1

recognize and identify all analytical equipment exists in the laboratory, laboratory tools and chemicals needed to perform soil analyses;

6, 7, 8

CLO2

operate minor equipment safely to conduct laboratory analyses of chemical characteristics of soil.

7, 8

This course is designed to provide an introduction to research and research methodology in biological sciences. The course also provides different experimental designs and how to analyze the statistical data with a valid procedure.

Research Methodology Sessional/Field Work

This course is introduced to make the student familiar with practical aspects of research methodology in biological sciences.

Introductory Hydrology

The course is designed to provide the students with the fundamental knowledge of dealing with one of the most valuable resources on Earth: water. It focuses on the understanding of how water moves from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere and then returns to Earth, how it cycles through hydrologic processes and interacts with its environment, and nourishes all lives and ecosystems including its occurrence and distribution into the surface and below ground reservoirs.

Soil Ecology and Ecosystems Sessional/Field Work

This course is designed to gather practical experiences on soil ecology and ecosystems.

Water Resources and Water Quality Sessional/Fieldwork

This course is designed to provide knowledge and exercises on different instrumental and chemical analytical methods on water quality including their sampling, identification, quantification, interpretation, and significance.

Soil Chemistry I

The course intends to provide the basic concepts on soil chemistry and chemical processes directly and indirectly involved in nourishing soil environment for plant growth.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Upon completion of this course the students will be able to:

Mapping with PLOs

CLO1

develop a basic understanding of soil chemistry, including soil acidity and soil solution, especially how they relate to nutrient availability and that can improve conditions for plant growth;

1

CLO2

explain various mineral and organic components of soils, including how changes in various quantities affect soil physical and chemical properties;

 2

CLO3

explain the mechanisms of chemical reactions and processes occurring in soils, soil minerals and soil organic matter.
